HOUGHTON — Joel L’Esperance didn’t even know what happened. The senior forward bent over to pick up the puck after Michigan Tech’s 5-3 win over Arizona State. He was planning to take it into the locker room where the Huskies would award it to their chosen player of the game. But when he turned around, L’Esperance was greeted by a full on brawl. So he did what any hockey player would do: He got in on the action. “I turned and all of a sudden everyone was going at it, so I just grabbed a guy,” he said.

EWEN — Asked about his dunks, and Jake Witt replies with the causality one would use while discussing the weather over a cup of coffee. But they’re nowhere near anything as benign as the day’s forecast. Early in the first quarter, Witt released a shot near the block that bounced off the rim. Before any Chassell defender could corral the rebound, Witt had already elevated and slammed back his own miss for the putback dunk.

When I was 10 years old I sported pigtails and basketball shorts on a daily basis, and spent my mornings before school sitting at the kitchen counter reading the sports page. I decided then that I wanted to be a sports writer, and have spent the last 12 years working toward my goal. Last week I packed everything I own, including a cat named Earl and a new pair of heavy-duty snow boots into my Toyota Camry.

If it comes to it, this newspaper - and undoubtedly a large majority of community newspapers across this country - will tell the truth to the death. In this social media-dominated, post-factual, fake-news, information-illiterate, instantly gratified, partisan-warring, blame-the-messenger, conspiracy-mongering, propaganda-spewing, cyberbullying time we live in, honest brokers of truth, justice and real news the people need to know, like community newspapers, are besieged on all sides.

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
